Recall that a geometric sum is a sum of the form a+ar+ar^2 + ar^3 + ... (a) Write a function file that accepts the values of r, a and n as arguments and uses a for loop to return the sum of the first n terms of the geometric series. Test your function for a = 3, r = 1/2 and n = 10. (b) Write a function file that accepts the values of r, a and n as arguments and uses the built in command sum to find the sum of the first n terms of the geometric series. Test your function for a = 3, r = 1/2 and n = 10. Hint: Start by defining the vector e=0:n-1 and then evaluate the vector R = r.^e. It should be easy to figure out how to find the sum from there.

    Given, a = 3, r = 1/2, n = 10

    %r is common ratio

    %n is number of terms

    %a is the first term of the series

    Sum = 0;

    a = 3;

    r = 1/2;

    for i = 0 : 1 : 10;

    Sum = Sum + a * r ^ i;

    end

    Sum
